Knitting with green

I finished up the Cozy V-neck sweater from Fitted Knits last night, blocked it, and it was dry and ready to wear today.Usually after my husband and I sneak out on the deck for these photo shoots, I can not wait to peel my new knit off, but today it was cool enough to keep it on. Kind of excited about that.

My sister gave me this beautiful green yarn, and I could not wait to make something with it. I looked at lots of patterns, changed my mind a zillion times, then finally settled on this one, and I am so glad that I did. This was fast and easy, knit in one piece on big needles.

I tried it on several times while knitting, and I was a bit worried. All that ribbing across the belly is not so flattering, but blocking made all the difference.

Thanks so much for stopping by Meggie's Stuff. Your knitting project is beautiful! Love the color, too. Even tho I have some knitters on my sidebar, I am not a knitter myself. Leslie, from A Friend To Knit With, got me started blogging. I think you knitters are so talented. Have a great long weekend.

What a great color and perfect for the upcoming fall season. Love the design and it looks great on you. You are a whiz at those knitting needles and I love how you took a knitting pattern and made a fabric jacket out of it - way cute.

Beautiful! I'm workin on my knitting skills too but something like this will be a long way down the road for me. I am determined though and totally inspired with all of your beautiful work and your soooo fast!!!
